Thanks again Matt and Kim you did a great job on the Blevins car!

[rockthemullet]

Love the 99/01 cobra! Where'd you get it?

[Tin]

Slot cars are awesome. Great pics. Slot cars were the next best thing to Legos when I was a kid.

[Chris Hansen]

I love me some slot car racing. Nothing like having a 1:24 scale car trap what my real car did stock.

Two pictures of my baby, its all dirty. Needs a good cleaning. The "VHT" for the tires really gets everything dirty.

Fuck, it's done already?? Looks like a bad bitch. :nod:

[johnquick302]

damn those things are badass.

[388Monte]

Wheres a track to race these at? Would like to do one this winter and have some fun with it. Any web sites for the chassis and parts?

There's one in downtown Holly. I'm going to have to get one of these for winter also.

[KENNEBELL2.6]

How much do these cost?

[Hugger Z]

Those look sweet!

[ReiKo]

Dominic has a ton at his place... I'm going to see if I can get one off him...

[ReiKo]

What scale do you guys race?

[388Monte]

1/24 scale they look like

[ReiKo]

This looks like a exspensive hobby...


How fast do you guys go? How long is the track?

[jsalvato1]

The Holly track is 1/8mile where I have (2) cars for that track.

The Belleville track is 1/4mile where I have a secret weapon for 3 unsuspecting racers. :baddancin

[1BADAIR]

scale 1/4 mile?

[QUOTE=ReiKo;1388091]This looks like a exspensive hobby...

It could be an expensive hobby.

Motors can range from $15 - $130.
A painted body: $100
A good chassis: $120

[1BADAIR]

what are you guys running? mid 3's?

[ReiKo]

what are you guys running? mid 3's?

Try mid 1's from what I heard...

[Chris Hansen]

I have about 200 in my camaro (including the badass airbrush work on the body) and it hasn't even made a full pass yet. Scale 1/4 blowing tires off it made it down the track in .979 seconds at 104 actual mph. (At least I think thats what it ran, I havn't been to our local track since last winter, Im just starting to get everything back out)

Holy shit...

[1BADAIR]

13.7 volts?
what class

[388Monte]

Any tracks on the eastside?

[Chris Hansen]

13.7 volts?
what class

I built the car to run Hard Body Bracket (Dial In, Restricted to Hard Plastic or Resin Body Only. Any Size Motor or Tires and Complies With Open Bracket, Runs On .500 Comp. Tree) But we'll see, I don't know how consistant its gonna run. Once you get going decently quick, its hard to get them consistant. Once they are in that range, they are like drag radial mustangs, 1 out of 4 passes is a good one. :gr_drivin

[Birdie2000]

So can you just use a normal $20 ERTL 1:25 model kit to build one of these? If so I'm thinking about building a scale model of my own car. I'll even attempt to scale down the timeline 1:24 and get it built in 10 weeks. :lol:

Sure depending what class you want to run. To be honest, out of the three cars I currently have, I havn't ran any of them in a specific class, except for my one 67 camaro. I just build them for fun, and mess around on test and tune nights with my buddies. Most people use 1/24 or 1/25 scale cars, so you should be fine with that! My next car will be a replica of my 2000 Z28.

[Birdie2000]

That's exactly what I would do too if I ever built/bought a car.

Touche! I don't know what your guy is telling you about the motors, but you can get them in the $200 range... but that's just for the real racers. You better keep to your low end motors before you get in too far over your head.

This looks like the same set up that happend to Tom Veal-on-tray... he stopped by the shop, dropped a ton of money to have all the "baddest" stuff... and ended up getting spanked. Not that he ever actually came back to race his car, but we ran it for him... and the thing was not where it should have been.
Just cuz you're dropping a bunch of money doesn't mean you'll do well, especially in the quarter.

Plus it will be 10 months before he actually gets it.

:lol:
Yeah, Bill has AT LEAST 2 cars ahead of his...

thats no fun i wanna research and impulse buy online!

You can do lots of impulse buying at the store on Saturday nights. Bill has a bunch of cars for sale and other people bring in cars and sell them too... the best part is that you can test drive them before you buy them.

Yeah it's going to be sad that you westside guys are going to lose... Round after round after round...:thefinger

X2 Lexan bodies are stupid. It's about the cool factor of the car itself. It's like have 6 second rail or a 6 second door slammer. Which is better?

Edge chassis, they are alright. Good beginner chassis, slower, and heavy, but you can put a bigger motor in it as you learn, or go.

No problem. The drive across the bridge is well worth the trip (these guys really know there shit).

My car still wont 60' very well but it picked up 19mph on the big end. I have a guy working on the chassis, once thats figured out it should be a .880 bracket car ...........Reiko is in trouble.
